CCCEI Metal Power Strip 6 Outlets with Individual Switches - Heavy

Our review of the CCCEI Metal Power Strip focuses on workshop and garage use where durability and per-outlet control matter most. The bottom line: this is a purpose-built, heavy duty power strip that gives independent on/off control for six widely spaced outlets while supporting higher current loads up to 20A when used with appropriate wiring. It is best suited to users running multiple tools or appliances who need a long, thick cord and reliable construction rather than a compact surge-only consumer strip.

Key Features

• Heavy duty construction: The metal housing and sturdy build feel durable and suited to rougher workshop or garage environments.
• Individual switches: Each of the six outlets has its own switch so devices can be powered or isolated without unplugging.
• High current rating: Rated AC 20A 125V 2500W so it can be used with high power industrial equipment on a 20A circuit.
• 12 gauge, 6ft cord: The thick 12 AWG cord and 6ft length provide safe wiring and reach for benches and work areas.
• Wide spaced outlets: Outlets are spaced to accept bulky plugs and adapters without blocking adjacent sockets.
• 1200J surge protection: Basic surge suppression is included to help protect connected appliances in typical use.

Who It's For

This power strip is aimed at workshop owners, hobbyists, and small shop operators who run multiple powered tools or appliances and need robust hardware, a long heavy-duty cord, and independent outlet control. The metal body and 20A rating make it a practical choice for higher-load scenarios when connected to a 20A circuit.

It is not ideal for users who require verified UL-listed consumer surge devices or those who need a compact travel strip for light electronics. Also, if you will plug into a 15A outlet, remember to limit the total load to avoid exceeding the circuit capacity.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Well-made, heavy duty construction that stands up to workshop use.
• Individual switches for each outlet increase convenience and control.
• Thick 12 AWG, 6ft cord gives reach and safer current handling for heavy loads.
• Wide spaced outlets accommodate bulky plugs and adapters.

Cons

• Some users express concern about lack of independent UL safety listing information; verify local code and safety needs before critical installations.
